  1. Virtual memory


    Hi guys, I'm trying to clear up some space on my SSD to install some games and I've noticed that my virtual memory is taking up 244GB !! I feel like this is highly irregular as all I can find online is about upping the virtual memory size. I'd like to reduce this, but I'm not sure if that's possible as I can't find anything online. Could anyone offer some help?

    Thanks
